Bates completed her artistic apprenticeship between 2014-18 under the wings Uncle Archie Roach spurring her on to becoming a powerful presence both on the stage, and within Aboriginal communities. 2023 will see Nancy release a much-anticipated album and participate as music facilitator for the documentary project Songs Inside, with award winning Director Shalom Almond.
